Quint Kessenich's midseason lacrosse grades
It might be hard to believe, considering that it has yet to feel like spring for any extended period of time, but the men's lacrosse season is already at the halfway point. No. 1 Maryland is in cruise control, Johns Hopkins has yet to beat a ranked team and defending champion Loyola is still seeking its mojo.
Conference play will be the theme of the rest of the regular season as teams jockey for NCAA tournament berths. So now is a perfect time to hand out midterm grades.
